HOW CAN ANYONE BEAR TO DO THIS?!



HOW CAN ANYONE BE SO CRUEL?!

and on this topic, lets take a look at what actually goes on behind preparing a tempting bowl of shark's fin soup.

What exactly is finning?

"Finning" refers to the practice of cutting off only the shark fins and discarding the body. Sometimes sharks are dead when they're pulled into the boats, but often, they're still alive as their four fins are cut off with a knife. When they're thrown back into the ocean the sharks either bleed to death, or they drown, because sharks can't swim without fins, and they need to go forward to get oxygen. Divers have discovered hundreds of dead finned sharks at the bottom of the ocean in huge shark graveyards.

The fin itself has no taste, but it's served with a broth of chicken, ham and shiitake that it absorbs.

...scientifically speaking, shark fin has little nutritional value--and, in fact, it may even be harmful to health over the long term, as shark fins have been found to contain high levels of mercury.
